     A man injured in a snowstorm fights to survive; he is afraid that time may be running out. This is his story.

Image of footprints in snow/ice (c) 2013, by Karla Dorman.

God, if You are even listening, please send someone to help me .... I am injured, and I am so cold .... so ... c-c-c-cold ....

I can't see where I am going: I injured my eyes when I fell against a tree branch; the branches poked me in the eyes, and now I have seemed to have lost all vision: I see nothing but darkness.  I wonder if I have blinded myself; the terror is suddenly very real.  If there is one thing I have always feared, it is losing my eyesight, and now I think I may have done exactly that ....

I wonder if anybody has realized that I am missing.  It seems like hours since this all transpired.  I pray to God that someone will realize that I am and that someone sends help; I don't want to die a slow, tortuous,  and painful death ....

All I can do is whisper the same desperate prayer to the heavens: "Jesus, be my eyes .... Lord Jesus, please be my eyes ...."  I know He is with me in even this, but still: I can't help but feel mounting fear as each minute ticks by.

Lord, God, please hear my prayers!  It would take a miracle for someone to find me and get me to shelter before I freeze to death in this snowstorm!!  If there was ever a time I really needed You, it is NOW!!

~To be continued!~
